Verse Around the Neck of Air

Battle of Horseshoe Bend

Wikipedia Poem, No. 771

before of we
their supreme senators
defied our toxic healing
as late as 1832 as early as never
often or not we went into such truths
with diathermic intent iroquois
or white man prescribed against clay
for a trail of cherokeed we
the military commissioned we
their gold sutured race not we
the legal precedent is well-established
the land has been forced into pinnacle
pinion
earlier it was dead of exposure hunger disease
in and of our vers'd state thirst seeded passage
courts decree over flowering mutants mature hardwood
early slopes nineteen meadows thick where native species
heavy mountain remains
